As WCCLS Director Eva Calcagno points out, "Library service could not be provided without the cooperation and support of local governments, able staff who open and operate libraries each day, the legion of volunteers who donate their time to assist in this endeavor, and the thousands of patrons who visit our member libraries day in and day out. [WCCLS is] thankful for the dedication and inspiration [we] see every day. It is an honor to be part of this unique organization."
